We received the below from Rotary Club de Chiclayo, District 446(Anissa's mothers’ Club).  How wonderful it is to see another Club connecting their members to their local communities and with us  through shared service and values.
 
 
 
A special “Shout Out” to Anissa Mustafa, Chair of Community Service committee, as well as her crew of elves, for spearheading the collection and distribution of gifts for seniors in local care homes as well as activity bags for children staying at the Moncton hospital this holiday season.
 
 
We also received this wonderful card from Forest Glen school to thank our Club for helping with the Breakfast program.
 
 
As we reflect on the past year, we can be proud of the impact our Rotary club has made. Through service projects, fundraising, and partnerships, we have strengthened our community and supported causes close to home and abroad. Most importantly, this work was made possible by the dedication, generosity, and teamwork of our members, who continue to turn Rotary’s values into meaningful action.
 
 
Looking forward as we continue to Unite for Good in 2026!
 
Yours in Rotary,
Catherine
